What is the average weight gain from menopause?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average weight gain during menopause varies widely and depends on multiple factors. However, some generalizations can be made:

General Range: Most women gain 5-8% of their baseline body weight during the first two years of menopause. This translates to roughly 4-6 pounds for someone weighing 160 pounds.

Individual Variance: The actual weight gain can be far less or significantly more than this average. Factors influencing this include:

Pre-menopause weight: Women with higher BMIs tend to gain more weight during menopause.

Lifestyle choices: Diet, exercise, and overall health habits significantly impact weight gain.

Genetics: Some women are genetically predisposed to weight gain, regardless of menopause.

Hormonal changes: The specific hormonal fluctuations during menopause can also play a role.

What is the cleanest house dog available?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, Bichon Frise's are very clean. For one, they DON'T SHED!! That's very nice. No fur all over the floor or furniture. And if you pick them up you don't have fur all over your shirt. Also, they are hypoallergenic which means those allergic to dogs are not allergic to Bichon Frise's. They are adorable dogs. I suggest if you get a Bichon Frise to give it the "puppy cut" whenever it gets groomed. It's the cutest style and it won't get matted or tangled. Also, if your Bichon Frise gets tear stains (which are black stains underneath the eyes or around the mouth) use the product called Angel Eyes. It gets rid of them quickly and is amazing. Their website is: http://www.angelseyesonline.com/ Anyway, I highly suggest you get a Bichon Frise. They're great, lovable, sweet, protective dogs that don't grow that all. Best of all, they don't shed. Please consider owning a Bichon Frise. You won't regret it!

What is female discharge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

depends upon the age of the child (for a list of usual suspects), and the location of the discharge

assuming vaginal discharge (since most other types have a more specific name) it could be normal bodily secretions, or a variety of infections.

if the discharge has an especially unpleasant smell; is white, gray, or yellow; or could be described as the consistency of cottage cheese, then the child may have an infection. if so, see a health professional for recommendations.
